Well Wavers, this is the list of quarterfinalists in the Silver Screenwriting Competition. I know that more than a few Rouge Wavers are on this list but I want to extend my heartfelt congratulations to everyone alike. Cupcakes for all of these fine writers! And just think, someone on this list is going to be the Grand Prize winner - it's very exciting!

For your Wavertainment, please notice the interesting titles on this list. Notice the way that one interesting title piques your interest moreso than another. If you had to choose a script out of this list to read, which would it be if all you knew about it was the title? Fun stuff, no?

But again, the main thing is - CONGRATULATIONS to those who made it to the quarterfinals, good luck on advancing to the next couple of rounds!

Congradulations to all quarterfinalists. Just to FINISH a script is a major acomplishment, let alone make the quarterfinals in a script writing competion. WOW! Help yourself to a cup--. Oops, wrong line, wrong person. Okay, go to Baskin Robins and treat yourself to a grande pistachio almond milkshake, my fave. Mmmm, yummy...

:-) Yay! Thank you. Sleeping with the Lutefisk is mine and nearly every time I send this script in someone corrects the spelling to lutefish.

Lutefisk is a Swedish dish made of boiled whitefish soaked in lye - yeah, gross. It's "popular" here in Minnesota. My script is about a Minnesota farming mobster family whose hits ensure them blue ribbons at the state fair every year.

Good luck and congrats to all the QT's! I see a lot of cool titles that intrigue me. Thank you Julie, and all your hard working coworkers and co-readers!

Hi Anonymous - god that name is so common! - Title is not officially a factor, of course not. But from a personal reading perspective, a good title does pique the interest and whet the appetite, so to speak. We split up the judging between several Script Department readers, so no, I have not read all qf scripts - only my alloted share.
